Do You Think Any Presenters Read This Forum

[Vienna]

Mr L is furious to find bliddy prisoners are getting before him. Do said crime doesn’t pay

Hopefully the vaccine roll out will gain momentum. Mr V has been on jury service this week and also next week and he says it`s like being in prison himself. Whilst waiting to be called each juror sits in his or her own perspex pod and can`t move anywhere except to the loo (with permission and its straight there and back) and they have to wear masks and gloves all the time plus take their own food and drink as the canteen has been closed.
When they go into court they have a perspex screen inbetween each juror in the jury box and the defendants are also behind a perspex screen in the dock. Any paper evidence which the jury needs to see or read is handed to each of them in a sealed plastic wallet and when the court breaks for lunch or to deliberate then cleaners move in and clean everything each time they move plus their personal pods in the jury room.
Each juror has their temperature taken as soon as they arrive each morning and they have to use the PPE given to them by the Court. During lunch breaks they aren`t allowed to leave the building for fear of bringing back contamination and they were told if just one juror goes down with covid during a trial then the whole jury will be sent home and everything will have to begin again.
Mr V says a couple of the jurors are smokers and they can`t even go outside for a fag. The jurors have to be there for 9am and it`s after 4pm before they finish for the day and Mr V says he now knows how a gerbil feels in a cage.

She’ll be fine. She claims that The Universe is looking after her. She calls out to The Universe and everything falls into place for her.

Yeah, if the “universe” is QVC and that calling out to QVC and everything “falls” in to place, either that if she’s got her freebie Vicella Bita on.

I see poor old Captain Tom has been admitted to hospital with Covid
Really hope it is a safe outcome for the family

Very worrying. Other centenarians have survived this, so I wouldn't bet against him.

See Alison Young had said on IG she has been for her 1st vaccination????
In my area I have heard at the end of the day if they have left over vaccine the nurses/staff can ring their mates/family to come along and get jabbed so the vaccine does not go to waste. This was told to me by a friend who got the call from a nurse friend so they went happily to have the jab.

Considering his age and what he did for the NHS why wasn't he the first to get vaccinated?

Apparently she is very vulnerable because of her health issues but a lot of people have not been happy as they are in the same boat and much older than her and have not heard anything.

What are her health issues making her very vulnerable? Yeah the system is crazy you can understand people getting upset. I don't begrudge anyone getting the jab but it should be done fairly across the country.

She has various health issues and is on the shielding list there is classed as Clinically Extremely Vulnerable. A friend of mine who is CEV had her vaccination too, CEV is being done at same time as those 70-79.

Considering his age and what he did for the NHS why wasn't he the first to get vaccinated?

Because he had pneumonia and was being treated for that

Our surgery have posted on FB saying they use the vaccine as efficiently as possible to ensure there are no doses going spare therefore there are no waiting lists or reserve lists.

Oh I didn't know her health was really bad but thanks for filling me in.

 

[Brissles]

There's a huge disparity across the country on this who gets what and when. I've got a rubbish immune system due to Lupus, but it doesn't put me ahead of the game - despite having constant letters from the NHS telling me I'm highly vulnerable. No, as I'm in the 70-75 age bracket along with every highly vulnerable in the country, there is no special dispensation for me and others like me, we're just lumped in with the others. Incidentally I'm still waiting to hear to have my injection - it'll happen when it happens.

Its more than worrying that Capt Tom has Covid, as I'm sure his family have kept him in safe conditions to keep him safe. Which begs the question, how the hell did he catch it ?

 

[Evie]

I think he was admitted to hospital with pneumonia and whilst there he tested positive for Covid19. He could have picked up the infection there.

 

[loveallthingsitalian]

Yes but he was tested positive after that and then he had problems breathing

He was in the Caribbean in December!

According to reports he was only admitted yesterday!

 

[donna255]

Yes, he went on holiday over Xmas to the Caribbean. Came home caught pneumonia and now has COVID-19 on top of that.

A friend's MIL went into hospital with pneumonia then caught COVID unfortunately passed away.

 

[Twilight]

When the promised covid-19 inquiry takes place the fact that so many caught this virus when in hospital needs to addressed. My sister spent years dealing with Birmingham's largest hospital & despaired over poor hygiene; on one occasion her husband came out of surgery & was placed in a room that had a blocked sink, she wouldn't let him stay in it until the problem was dealt with, someone arrived & the piece of dressing was removed. Appalling.

I think we all wish Captain Tom and everyone with this virus well and I hope they're strong enough to see this horrible virus off. Hospital is the last place anyone wants to visit right now.

Back to the topic of this thread - do you think any presenters read this forum? - yes, of course they do. You can always tell as soon as they start exaggerating whatever they've been commented on, which is their version of sticking their tongue out. This was posted by sunnyday in the thread on Which presenters do you like or dislike:

• Yesterday at 10:33 PM

Yes ! & Talking of voices i saw a bit of Ruth langsford today - so funny she's suddenly speaking in exaggerated clipped pronounciation - sounding like a public information film from the 1940s - it did make me laugh she didn't used to speak like that.

So expect to see them parody themselves each time a mannerism is noted here. Maybe if someone commented that a particular presenter had a strange gait, they'd come on walking like John Cleese's famous strut. Hilarious, as Jill Franks would say (I don't mind her, actually).

 

[donna255]

Oh, I just got the fake vaccine email. It looked so real, well apart from the NHS-UK, and it was Kirsty's email address beside that. Being a little bored I went through the name and address thing and there it was please put your card details in.
